in MySQL.

There are many ways you can replicate MySQL data whether it be a simple two-node cluster,
chain or master/master. If you use MySQL you probably know about

MySQL Workbench has come a long way and keeps getting better!
I honestly don't think that millage may vary on this one as it is
one of the best no-cost GUI tools created for MySQL.

I've always been pro command line for MySQL administration;
however, there have always been powerful GUI tools that can aid
administration, development and other tasks. Some great tools

WebYog. Although all of the tools listed above are good I have
had a lot of success with MySQL Workbench, plus it's free.

I always attend the O'REILLY MySQL Conference in April every year,
but this year found another interesting conference that brings
both Oracle and MySQL users together, KSCOPE11.
This will be the second year with a dedicated MySQL track at
Kscope11. There will be a clear focus on providing both
developers and DBAs the right information, tools and best
practices within MySQL, emphasizing scalability and performance.

In the majority of MySQL systems, the schema is always updated

Knowing how to index a schema based on the queries using the
system is a great skill to have. In the majority of the systems I
have worked on, the schema is always updated and changed based on
the needs and focus of the application. That said, it can be
somewhat difficult to keep up with all of the changes that come
down the pipe, especially …

I've been using MySQL Enterprise Monitor for
some time now and have seen it grow from a somewhat clunky (ALPHA
version) to a scalable and robust monitoring system. The MySQL
Enterprise Monitor makes my job easier in a number of ways. Below
is a short list of what I love about MySQL Enterprise
Monitor:

Tunable, agent based monitoring

Historic RRD graphs

MySQL Query Analyzer

Replication topology visualization

MySQL Enterprise Monitor was highlighted during "MySQL
Sunday" at the Oracle Open World conference this past month.
Given the ease of …
